For optimised performance of the pattern matching algorithm, would you include the following tuneable user parameters.
(1) Under user settings, provide an entry for "Min Pattern Size". This will allow user to search any range of pattern sizes(k). Default =1.

will do
(2) Under user settings , provide an entry for optimise weights, call it "Sensitivity" range [0.1-1].This will allow the user to adjust the sensitivity of the historical pattern matching offset weight (wi). Default =1.
will do
btw, i was thinking that the weights could be applied in increasing values, i.e. it's more important that the pattern 'ends' match as closely as possible. so if the pattern had e.g. 10 elements than the weights applied could be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ... , 0.9, 1.0
(3) To address some of Padawan's query on value prediction, here is a useful graphical trend aid.
(a) Provide a right hand side chart on the user setting page, showing the actual trend value as per summary chart.
i'd rather integrate the predictor into winning numbers statistics and wn history tables/charts - imagine a new 'prediction' row added after the latest draw in stats tables showing the prediction for most tracked parameters, there could also be an extra 'prediction' point in the charts.
if you think the predictor results are good enough, i can start working on it
(b) Overlay a long term moving average( 10 point say) with a short term moving average (3 point say) on the same graph.This technique for trend identification is based on the location of the shorter moving average relative to the longer moving average. If the shorter moving average is above the longer moving average, the trend is considered up. If the shorter moving average is below the longer moving average, the trend is considered down. If possible both moving averages could be adjustable, and the gap area difference for increasing/decreasing in different colours.
same answer as above i suppose. but can you email me psl some example of expert lotto chart with the trend lines above? - just to make sure we're on the same wavelength...
